Clothes, I'm gonna miss you.....

So it's summertime
and I'm feeling so happy and excited!!!
Happy to be able to sleep in with my buttercups and sweet Mya ( aka our precious dog)
and
not rush around
and
not  fret over getting school clothes out the night before..
although (Sadly, to me) this year my babies will be rocking' school uniforms...yes..
navy/white polo's and navy/khaki pants../ skorts/ shorts...blah blah blaaaaahhhhhhhh
bajjjjjjaaaaaaa!!!!!!
I mean, yes everyone will look proper and cute
but Gosh how my Bella girl and I will miss dressing her to the 9's and with some sort of  pink and bling and fun and grooviness to her attire, some individuality, some expression.

just fun
just pure expression
just being kids...

now that is all over because the school committee voted in school uniforms...but yet my oldest son who is in middle school does not have to wear "uniforms"...
now in my own opinion I think his age is the age that would benefit from school uniforms due to the sexy styles young chicas be wearing' to school ( i know, I once was one of them, looking' hot and not even knowing it, if only I could have my body back from when I was 15!!)
Anyways,
 they are the kids who deal with the bullying hard core, over who is wearing what, who can afford UGGZZZ, who is looking hoochie mama, who is rocking' expensive  sneakers,
I mean really...but nooooo
they are the ones who can wear whatever they like.
And the little peeps.
aka
my babies...all of 6 and 8 have to rock the uniforms.
Ok. maybe it will be easier.
Maybe it will work better for this very UNORGANIZED, CHAOTIC, ADHD BRAINED MAMA...
but I will still be missing
buying clothes for me babies..
especially my baby girl!!
Let it be..
Let it be...
That is what I am trying to do.
It is what it is.

Last years back to school clothes for  the first day of Kindergarten....choices choices..choices...loved it!!!

But cute clothes I will certainly miss you):

Hurt.

At the lake...

Red, White and Blue sparkler toes for the 4th(:
At the lake....
   Sandcaslte discussion.
   Chillin' under the pink umbrella with a big bag of chips.
   Delicious meataballzzzz, i mean...Muddballzzzz
and
  a little solo pose of Miss Bella herself.

We spent all day Saturday at our friends cottage, on the lake, such a great relaxing day.
Kids had a blast in the water, jumping off the dock with diving board and being little fish all day in the lake(:
We left their cottage at 9:30 and rolled into Boston by 11:00.
Love summertime,
so relaxin',
no rushin',
just  enjoyin' everyday moment to moment.

American Pie

We started singing!!!
We put up the Banzai....aka the huge blow up waterside on our neighbors driveway and the kids are ready to splish and splash!!!
Happy 4th of July!!
SO truly honored and proud to be an American today and everyday!!!

Dark Side.

"Don't run away, don't run away, just promise me you will stay."
Let's keep it real...
We all have it...
Addictions...
Rough moments,
Low self-esteem,
Jealousy,
Grudges,
Hurt,
Depression,
etc..
I love Kelly Clarkson and how she keeps it real in her songs.
She is relatable and sincere
and
I think we all need someone like that in our lives.
Hopefully we are surrounded by more then one person who is,
but one is enough.
Just one.
One
who
will
love
you
unconditionally.
One
who
won't
run
away,
even
when
you
are
mean.
ugly.
sad.
grumpy.
I have depression.
I take medicine
for it but it's tough, somedays are tougher then others.
Sometimes I need a drink to get through the day, around dinner time, sitting on my porch watching the kids play, ride their bikes with their friends.
A Timeout.
Please don't judge.
I won't judge you either.
My mind is understanding and everyday I try to be more and more understanding, to see both sides, to except without judgement people as they are, their thoughts, beliefs, addictions, doubts, happiness and strengths.
Validation.
Appreciation.
Exceptance.
LOVE.
 Will you love me, even with my dark side.
I am blessed that my husband and my children do, just as I love them as they are.
Bright side and Dark side.
 Peace.
Light.
Bright,
Dark.
Love.
